----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADIOS HERMANOS - Paul Simon ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: CherryKim, August 19, 2011 This great song is off the Paul Simon album "Songs From The Capeman" and is mostly sung a capella, but I transcribed the background singers' music and the organ for guitar. Listen to the record for timing.

CIt was the morning of October 6th, 1G960 I was wearing my Ambrown suit Preparing to leave the house of GD. FShook some hands then Gadios Brooklyn FamiCgos CMaybe some of them had hopes of seeing me again Some eGven said that my jAmudge-Judge Gerald Culkin-G Wouldn't Fplay it by the book Maybe Glet us off the hook But, FWOH-COO-WOH, I knew better C Afraid to leave the projGects Am To cross into another neighboGrhood The Fblancos and the Gnigger gangs Well,F they'd Ckill you if they could
AUREA (Strum):
F Angel of Mercy, people are sufBbfering All oveCr the world F Spanish Gchildren are taCught on their knees to beFlieve FAngel of Mercy, people are Bbsuffering All over the iCsland tonight, F Mothers wGeep CSisters grGieve
SAL (pluck):
CWell, I entered the courtroom, state of New York County of New YorkG, Am Just some spic they scrubbed off the sidewalkG FGuilty by my dress GGuilty in the press Let The FCapeman Cburn for the murders C Well the Spanish boys had their day in court And nowG it was time for some Amfuckin' law and order G The Felectric chair For the Ggreasy pair FSaid the judge to the Ccourt reporter C Afraid to leave the projeGcts Am To cross into another neighborGhood F The newspapers and the GTV crews Well,F they'd Ckill you if they could
AUREA (strum):
F Angel of Mercy, people are sufBbfering All oveCr the world FA Spanish Gboy could be Ckilled every night of the Fweek FBut just let some white boy die And the world goes cBbrazy for blood-CLatin blood F I don't Glie Cwhen I Gspeak
SAL (pluck):
CWell they shackled Gmy Amhands G A Fheavy belt aroGund my waist to Frestrain Cme And they Cshackled Gmy Amlegs G HerFnandez, the UmGbrella Man, chained beFside Cme Then we Crode that Black MariaG Through the Amstreets of Spanish Harlem G Calling Fold friends on the Gcorners Just to Flay our Cprayers upon them
